Reginald Hill was brought up in Cumbria, and has returned there after many years in Yorkshire. With his first crime novel, A Clubbable Woman, he was hailed as ‘the crime novel’s best hope’ and thirty years on he has more than fulfilled that prophecy.
'Few writers in the genre today have Hill's gifts: formidable
intelligence, quick humour, compassion and a prose style that
blends elegance and grace' Donna Leon, Sunday Times 'The finest
male English contemporary crime writer' Val McDermid 'Reginald
Hill's novels are really dances to the music of time, his heroes
and villains interconnecting, their stories intertwining'
Ian Rankin 'One of Britain's most consistently excellent crime
novelists' The Times 'These novels last, like a grand malt whisky –
rounded, rich, intoxicating… Here is an author at his formidable
best'
Frances Fyfield, Mail on Sunday 'So far out in front that he need
not bother looking over his shoulder' Sunday Telegraph 'He is
probably the best living male crime writer in the English-speaking
world' Andrew Taylor, Independent 'Reginald Hill stands head and
shoulders above any other writer of homebred crime fiction' Tom
Hiney, Observer
